About our guest:
Elvie Shane, BBR/Wheelhouse artist and champion of the blue-collar generation, has carved out a place in country music with heart, grit, and authenticity. His sophomore album DAMASCUS blends country, rock, and hip-hop, telling raw stories of struggle, resilience, and redemption. Praised by Billboard as “an ode to blue-collar workers” and by Rolling Stone as proof he’s “a new voice of the damaged, addicted, and lost,” Shane’s music resonates far beyond the stage.
The Kentucky native first broke through with his Platinum-certified No. 1 hit “My Boy,” a heartfelt tribute to stepparents that has earned over 400 million streams. The song launched his debut album BACKSLIDER, praised by critics and earning him ACM, CMT, and iHeartRadio nominations while taking him from small-town roots to major stages across the U.S. and abroad.
